I know.

I believe, I don't need "evidence". I don't have an issue with those who don't. My issue is when I doubt pics, videos or whatever, I get jumped on because its goes against what a believer should think.

I am completely open to the idea that there are things out there that we do not understand. I am willing to believe that big foot and aliens and ghosts and anything may exist. What I am not willing to do is take any strange noise or out of focused picture and believe its bigfoot just because I want to believe it is. There are people on here who claim they have seen bigfoot many times, yet, for some reason they have never been able to produce any evidence of him.
Do you consider the number of sightings and reports, going back 100s of years, (many by very credible and respected individuals)...to be significant in believing this is real?


I forget the year, but there was a specific time when the term 'Bigfoot/Sasquatch' was first coined...sightings and encounters that happened prior to these words being created, people referred to them as 'wild men' or hairy wild men, wild ape men, etc. Its interesting to read the very old encounters, before the word Bigfoot was coined, and listen to the descriptions they give of what they saw.

Not butt hurt about anything as far as you and I are concerned. I get/got the same flack what ever forum I go to, or rather use to go to. My response was not directed at you. I accept your apology if it makes you fell better.

I never said anything about buying reproduction heads. Im not a Hollywood makeup artist but it seems to me that it wouldnt be too hard to do with the proper knowledge.

You published links saying the heads were photoshopped and TS's are not.

Not sure if UpstateJohn posted links but I know I have posted links showing Todd Standings to be a fraud. There are many people with internet posts showing/explaining how/why his photos/videos are hoaxes. For me the people questioning Mr Standing seem WAY more reputable and their findings are WAY more logical.
